Voter Engagement Tools
We’re combatting Republican voter suppression and disenfranchisement efforts by combining cutting-edge data, mail, text, and visualization tools to create a comprehensive voter engagement strategy for progressive and Democratic candidates and causes.

How is RunningMate different?
RunningMate is a powerful data visualization tool built specifically for campaigns and voter engagement efforts. Unlike spreadsheets or generic CRMs, it transforms a complex voter file and unregistered voter data into interactive, easy-to-understand maps and dashboards designed for political organizing.
How can RunningMate help my team determine which precincts to focus on?
RunningMate’s “Precinct Prioritization” feature lets you filter and sort precincts based on key indicators like partisan lean, registration potential, turnout history, and persuasion opportunity. This means your team can stop guessing and start focusing resources where they’ll matter most.
I'm not a data expert. Can I use RunningMate?
Yes! RunningMate was designed with usability in mind. The platform simplifies dense data sets with intuitive visuals, smart filters, and guided views so that campaign staff and volunteers alike can make sense of what to do next. No data experience necessary!
Is there support or training available for new users?
Yes! We offer onboarding assistance, on-demand webinars, and downloadable guides like our “Best Practices for Identifying High-Impact Precincts.” You can also schedule a live demo or explore real-world case studies to see how others are using the tool.
How is CiviText different from other similar platforms?
CiviText is more than just a texting tool, it’s a full-service direct outreach solution. We handle everything from messaging strategy to live-person responses, so your team can focus on winning hearts, minds, and elections without getting bogged down in logistics or tech setup.
Is this the same as TextOut?
Yes! TextOut is now CiviText, with the same powerful people-first peer-to-peer texting approach you trust, now under the Civitech umbrella. We’ve enhanced our services and added even more support to deliver personalized, multilingual outreach at scale.
What is "peer-to-peer" messaging?
Peer-to-peer (P2P) texting is a direct messaging method where real people send and reply to texts individually, creating authentic one-on-one conversations at scale. Unlike mass or automated texts, P2P texting allows for personal touches, real-time responses, and genuine engagement. This is ideal for campaigns, nonprofits, and advocacy organizations looking to build trust and mobilize communities effectively. With CiviText, every conversation is human-powered, accessible, and mission-driven.
How much work will my team and I have to do?
Very little! That’s the beauty of CiviText. We manage setup, scheduling, delivery, responses, and analytics. You get regular updates and performance insights, while we do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.
